{"0":"Saute onions and jalepeno together in large pot until soft, then turn to low and add the can of tomatoes, beans, liquid smoke, and brown sugar. Let simmer.","2":"In fry pan, cook entire package of bacon (4-5 strips at a time, it takes a while). Once cooked crisp, chop\/crumble bacon and add to the chili pot.","4":"KEEP BACON GREASE. Cook the lb of ground beef in the bacon grease and add cumin and chili powder. Also, add franks hot sauce to the meat. Brown for approx 7-10 minutes depending on the size of the pan. Add this to the chili pot.","6":"Final step, add four shots of whiskey to the mix and stir it in. Add a shake of more cumin or chili powder to taste. Season with remaining salt to taste. Simmer on low for one hour.","8":"I refrigerated overnight and simmered it for another hour the next day before serving. Letting it sit overnight allowed all the flavors to set in.","10":"Any suggestions or additions for next time? I love feedback and opinions!"}
